The series of events seems slightly fishy, but I do know of a few people who have been made whole following a scam. Some digging and the right type of pressure can go a long way.

Kat, not saying you are wrong, but it is very common for these type of low-lifes to use a middleman. They are most likely feeding them a completely different story about where the money came from, and why they are getting a small cut for their assistance.

Hello guys.

i received the money back from the transfer nade from Spain (6.100usd) The money transferred from my colleague in the US has not been returned though.

It is crazy because if Dawn Hirschy wants to get rid of this mess and decided to return the "spanish" money, why not the domestic transfer as well? Both transfers are included in the ic3 report.

Could anybody help me to contact the FBI to know which kind of legal further steps must be done so that I get my 7.900usd back?

Thanks a lot guys

I already have a lawyer and we will bring DAWN ELAINE HIRSCHY to the court but if anyone has any contact in the FBI would be much appreciated,

Contact local police. The FBI may be interested. They also
have an internet scam site. Even INTERPOL may help you.
If you have his physical address, contact someone in that state. There are TRF members who are active/retired law enforcement.

Wired funds are difficult to recover, but there are other avenues for redress
with a valid physical location.

umm ok well as a new member, I wouldn't know who to trust here but also because of that, I wouldn't buy here, I don't know wtf this thread is.

A, a good story.
B, an amazing troll of someone who is bored and needs something to do.
C, someone got ripped off, made some big mistakes and then somehow got some of his money back, which I have never heard of before.

lol what a wild ride, makes me thankful to have a local watch dealer who has been in business for 60+ years and 40 years at their location.

it's scary buying watches sometimes that we all love and people will try to take advantage of that love and use it to blind us to obvious red flags so they can steal our money.

my first watch buy was only 3000Cad but it was before I found my dealer and luckily I didn't get ripped off, if true I hope you get the money back but I wouldn't count on it, if not you should be writing international crime cappers for netflix.

No she wasn't.

In my case the scammer was using his real name and friend's bank account and I tracked them both down with the help of a private detective I knew (he didn't charge me anything for his services, P.I. was a friend) and threatened to prosecute them both. Also the scammer was located merely in another state, not overseas.

I actually did turn in reports to the FBI but not with any local police departments. I kept talking to local FBI agents even went to see them in person, but as far as I knew, they weren't doing anything.

That scammer little by little (took several deposits) deposited in cash the money into my account and made me whole. I just kept pressuring him and making him believe that I was right on his trail and about to have him picked up by the authorities. I had located other victims and kept telling the scammer that I was going to line them all up against him. I guess he cracked and figured that he had better take care of me.

Shortly afterwards I got a call from a detective local to the scammer who told me the scammer had been arrested, for doing the same thing to multiple victims, and wanted to confirm with me what the scammer told him, that I had been repaid. The detective told me that as far as he knew, I was the only victim who had been repaid. I don't know if the FBI gave that detective my name and number, or if the scammer did himself by way of trying to claim that he was a good guy. I told the detective the truth, that I had been repaid in full.

On down the line the scammer's attorney called me and asked me for a letter to confirm that I had been made whole. This was going to be presented to the court at his sentencing. I gave them the letter.

I've been scammed twice with regards to watches in my life - once online as described, was made whole, and once in person. The time I was scammed in person was following right on the heels of having sold a few watches to legitimate in person buyers who gave me such a good feeling and were so honest that I was lulled into thinking that everyone was okay.

I'm not a watch dealer just a collector.

Not everyone is okay, that is for sure.
